From the clip it looks to me as if Ratchet is disassembling something. The dialogue is saying someone has a minute, maybe less, and Wheeljack was just previously shown getting his aft whooped by Soundwave.

Theory: That orange thing is not synthergon but part of the relic (it looked like it was attached to a lot of stuff to me)which turns out to be a very big boom-boom device. Docbot is left to deactivate it while Jackie fights SW/is recovering from fighting SW and Jackie has to walk him through the process over the comm. before they are all blown to kingdom-come. This of course gives the uppity sciency Ratchet a new respect for the Wrecker .

The Hub facebook page have posted a teaser image from this Saturday's new episode of Transformers Prime "Triage". See the image and Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer Duane Capizzi's comments below.

In case you weren't already excited for Saturday's TRANSFORMERS Prime, we asked Duane Capizzi (Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer), for this exclusive Facebook teaser!

"We thought it would be interesting to use a “real time” structure, and pair off the characters in a way that would allow us to explore specific relationships more deeply. We’ve done “epic” – now we're hoping to be both epic and intimate at the same time.

It had been a while since we checked in with the Teens on a more human, interpersonal level (hence ‘TunnelVision’); felt the need to explore issues of “allegiance” via Dreadwing and Starscream (in ‘Triangulation’); as for ‘Triage’ which you are about to see – we were and still are VERY excited about teaming Wheeljack with Ratchet, and bringing Soundwave to the forefront once again in a compelling way; as for the final part in our ‘T’ quadrilogy, know that repercussions from the events of this four-parter will continue to be felt throughout the remainder of the season…"

I figured it out! Soundwave is Vulcan! Think about it. Calm , emotionless , loyal , uber skilled with computers , deadly in combat . When he looked at the sword I could just hear a voice saying "Fascinating". He's like an evil Spock!

There should be a script competition even for Transformers Prime writers to compete in........THEY WOULD LOOSE.

Borderline It amazes me who comes up with these scripts. I CHALLENGE THEEE...give me an outline and I will give the fans the lore they are looking for.

I must have been watching a different fight because it looked to me like optimus had his number easy.

I agree. To me it seems as Optimus knows he can hand everyone their arse but respects them as individuals and truly wants to see them abandon the senseless violence once and for all. Makes the season one ending epic because he had finally realized megatron will never change and has to be put down even though he once looked up too and respected him.

Care to elaborate?

Yeah, this is not G1 Wheeljack, cuz it's a different Wheeljack in a different series.

I see no resemblance.

"Boring" yes, but "insane"? I don't see it.

The Matrix is an item of wisdom and purity, not a weapon of mass destruction (unless there's a supernatural force of pure evil, only then does it become a Kryptonite nuke).

starscream1974 wrote:The tide is never equal when Prime steps onto the battlefield not even Megatron himself would want to face Prime unless an ambush is there for the taking or Prime is clearly outnumbered.

Um... did you miss their fight during "One Shall Fall"? Neither was holding back and Megatron still got the better of Optimus. Megs would have killed Prime if the other Autobots hadn't stepped in to save him.

Optimus outsmarted Dreadwing and buried him under a ton of snow. I wouldn't exactly call that "insulting".

Okay, here's one. The Autobots decide to turn their human allies into Kiss Players to power themselves up, while the Decepticons summon aid from the Planet Gobotron. Ready, GO!

why wouldn't you watch the animated movie between seasons 2 and 3? as for the rest I'm not sure if your advocating everything should derive from g1 or that we shouldn't live in the past.......so um got any gum?

Or, wait, you're serious? True lore? Dude, EVERYTHING from 1984-Present is true lore in some form. G1 is only one fraction of it all.

starscream1974 wrote:Yes it all stems from G1 people and yes the original is far superior to perhaps the lore you follow.....do your homework.

Again, I laugh.

G1 may have come first, but "first" =/= "best". Several other series have far surpassed G1 in so many ways. Writing, consistency, character development, editing, animation, directing, voice acting, scripting, drama, action, comedy, gravitas, and so much more. Granted not EVERY series after G1 is better than G1 (some are indeed inferior), but there are still a few that have vastly surpassed G1 in several certain regards. The G1 cartoon in particular is at best an average TF cartoon.

starscream1974 wrote:It's not about living in the past...

Sure strongly feels like it.

starscream1974 wrote:its about imagination and creative thinking.

And there's plenty of that in several post-G1 series.

starscream1974 wrote:Unfortunatley Hollywood has ran out of ideas and most shows are directed towards 2 year olds.

1. Hollywood has nothing to do with Transformers: Prime. Hasbro Studios makes this show.

2. If you seriously think this show is geared towards 2 year olds, then you must think the same of Lord of the Rings and The Dark Knight.

starscream1974 wrote:I get that individuals want to be just that and break off from the old....BUT IF ITS NOT BROKEN ...DON'T TRY AND FIX IT...

Sure, because "imagination and creative thinking" must certain equate to "repetition of old ideas without any innovation or development".</sarcasm>

This just screams "GEEWUN", right here.

starscream1974 wrote:You don't see the Cylon rip off there? COME ON in robot form?? Time to check your eye site, perhaps the Raider should have been left out.....

You didn't say which mode. Since the cyclon Raider was a ship, the Vehicle Mode was logically what first came to mind.

And, frankly, the Cylon Raider itself looks inspired by a lot of other designs from other sci-fi series, so you shouldn't be talking.

starscream1974 wrote:here's the deal THE MATRIX is the Autobots Holy Grail and yes it has been a weapon that went nuclear did you not see it blow up Unicron LOL Hilarious.......

I said "unless there's a supernatural force of pure evil", which Unicron counts as. The Matrix is only used to destroy things of pure evil and chaos, not natural lower level evils (like Megatron).

starscream1974 wrote:Do me a favor younglings.....watch G1 from start to finish then wrap up with the Animated Movie....

The 1986 movie takes place between seasons 2 and 3. Or are you saying to not watch seasons 3 and 4? If so, then, hate to break it you ya, but the G1 cartoon ends well after the movie. If you say to watch from "start to finish" but then say to stop at the movie, then you're being very hypocritical and no one will take you seriously.

starscream1974 wrote:yes been collecting since 1984...

And? So have several others here who also like later stuff. Doesn't matter in the long run.

So, you collect stuff from later lines while also speaking out against later lines. I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with "shmipocrisy".

starscream1974 wrote:its not about that although you with make it out to be.

When has anyone here brought up the toys in this conversation?

starscream1974 wrote:It's the lore where it originated from which has held up for X amount of years....

Speaking of hypocrisy, you've been saying how the original is what we should focus on, yet you say to watch the G1 cartoon? News flash, the G1 cartoon did NOT come first. The G1 Marvel Comics did. You speak of being a G1-originalist yet focus on the cartoon, when the comic preceded the cartoon by several months. By your logic, the comic's coming first automatically makes it superior to the cartoon. Plain and simple.

starscream1974 wrote:truthfully speaking their is a big diffrence between collectors and fans I get that....for me DOTM figures are not my taste nor are many others.

Then why bring up the toys in the first place if you've openly admitted that that's not an issue here?

starscream1974 wrote:But I get it...always have always will...does Hollywood and numerous JOKE of cartoon series..nope...you know why...BECUSE THEY DIDN'T DO THEIR HOMEWORK........so do me a favor and do yours

Do your own homework. Again, Hollywood has nothing to do with this. Hasbro Studios makes Prime.

starscream1974 wrote:I am happy to know that you support the cause Private's and by all means enjoy TF Prime...I know I do, but it could be soooo much better.

First true thing you've said thus far. Prime can indeed be so much better, but not for the reasons you've given.

Take your own advice and you'd see that not only are War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron NOT based in G1, but are also in direct conflict with the G1 cartoon, ignoring and outright defying several key aspects of it, such as how Orion Pax became Optimus Prime, how the Dinobots were created, how Trypticon was created, and so much more.

starscream1974 wrote:Look to me G1 speaks of what started it all season 1,2 the movie ect ect until ALL OR ONE!!!

Seasons 3 and 4 came after the movie. Don't ignore them or you're contradicting yourself.

starscream1974 wrote:Brudda right up til the Headmaster stuff.

You do realize that there was still more after The rebirth, right? Like, Optimus Prime being a Powermaster in the "best of" fifth season, in which he told stories of their history to Tommy Kennedy.

And yet, Optimus Prime never once used the Matrix to win battles against the Decepticons in the G1 cartoon. Nor did Rodimus Prime. They only ever used the Matrix twice in the cartoon, and both were against greater forces of chaos than the Decepticons ever were. If the Matrix was this big superweapon that could swiftly end the war, why didn't Optimus use it in G1? Because THAT'S NOT HOW THE MATRIX IS USED.

starscream1974 wrote:Love the banter, look as time passes the lore / history gets forgotten from generation to generation....

You really must have NO idea what you're talking about since the very foundation of not just TF: Prime but the whole Aligned continuity consists of elements taken directly from the past 25+ years of TF history. HISTORY is the very thing that makes the world of TF: Prime be what it is. Take your own advice and go do your own research.

*looks at sabrblade's flurry of blows/posts*

Mate, better stop fast before you go down any further...

Anyways, had to release this into the wild though; if Optimus and Dreadwing were on equal footing in triangulation (granted Optimus gave Dreadwing a chance) and Wheeljack got kicked around by Soundwave, where does this actually put Soundwave? If dreadwing were to confront Wheeljack would the result be the same for the poor Wrecker, or Soundwave has quite a fighting experience that nobody really noticed?

Now I'm stoked of how Shockwave is going to be portrayed in TFPrime...

I get that, and actual again I like the banter. Truthfully speaking I am not all over the place....we are talking maybe 5-6 observations. I never personally said anything to anyone about questioning intelligence ( Bubble Gum ref ) I'm just saying there was magic to the G1 era and yeah maybe people get tired of hearing that and you know can't relate because they were not born in that era......that doesn't mean they are lame or do not have the same passion as Hardcore fans.......I'm just saying.......Soundwave looks like a rip off Cylon...Prime's Matrix should give him the edge and not just with knowledge ( its sacred / magic man ..the Decepticons do not have a Matrix ) Look I am a Steam Punk fan,,,,,,have all three with Cyclops pre-ordered....I passed on Hercules to get a more G1 Dev from Maketoys..that doesn't mean I wouldnt want to check out anyone elses collection........that being said the Original Lore can be and always will be relevant and if I were in charge of the stories it would be that much more original / magical.......becuase that was what captured all of us 25 year plus fans man................Its like the Star Wars gig...you can't tell me that 1, 2 , 3 were even close to 4, 5, 6 and they had better CGI and blah blah....its all about the story. And I agree with you brudda...I would rather talk to you than at you. So I do apologize for being a LOLI appreciate your support with Transformers and keep it going
